Pick-Up Coil

  1. Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position. Disconnect battery. Connect an ohmmeter to terminals No. 4 and 5 at wiring harness connector. Ohmmeter resistance reading should be 150-900 ohms.
  2. If reading is not within limits, disconnect dual lead connector coming from distributor. Check resistance at dual lead connector. If reading is not 150-900 ohms, replace pick-up coil assembly in distributor.
  3. Connect one ohmmeter lead to a good ground and other lead to either connector of distributor. Ohmmeter should show an open circuit. If ohmmeter shows a reading, pick-up coil is grounded and must be replaced.
